The interior is fabulous IMO.

like it - big improvement on the outgoing model looks wise.

interior looks v nice but what on earth is going on with that trackpad resting on top of the scroll wheel - looks very odd?

engines made by renault?

It can have the best interior in the world, but that droopy arse is a no no for me for now. Might look ok in reality but I very much doubt it. However, it might grow on me just like a cancerous growth.

Must admit I love the inside ........ Hmmmmm .......

Exterior - Nope
Interior - Yes

ELD70 · 12-20-2013, 04:18 PM

Well that's an exciting shape

Waitey · 12-20-2013, 04:19 PM

It's a shame the materials feel cheap in them. They just can't get plastics just right.

browellm · 12-20-2013, 04:41 PM

I don't like it at all, and the Nav screen looks as stupid as it does on the A-Class.

Basically, they've shrunk the S Class and the external design does not work. It's BLAND.

Was in back of client's new S class last week. Really impressed - as someone who's done over 100k in new shape 750, have to say this was in a different league.

Not liking it.

Let's ask the same question when the pictures of the AMG Sport model appears.....

I don't agree... I think they have taken what was a fantastic looking car, with great lines and bags of character and made it stayed, boring and droopy! The interior is fantastic though, except maybe for the stick on screen. Saying that, the previous C had a great interior, after it got its facelift in 2011. Prior to that it looked cheap and bland.

I think it's only the smallest engine in the class that's made by Renault, and modified by Merc. The rest are Merc engines?

UKBreemerBoy, I think that is the AMG version

In a word, yes.

I bet BMW are a little worried....

d4springer · 12-21-2013, 04:27 AM

I always think Mercs look nice from the outside, or a distance, loads of attention to detail anyway.

Don't like its saggy arse. Same for the Audi A6 Saloon, the ass sags at the taillights.
